Workshop Description:
Rebecca’s class for non-dancers aims to help ease the participants into movement and become more comfortable with dancing. The class includes fun basic exercises drawing from hip hop and salsa to get warm and moving and build heat in the body. The class then moves towards movement generation and getting in touch with the body’s senses and capacity to move. Rebecca draws from popular dance, visualization, improvisation and games to work on creativity, mind-body connection and to build a community of listening and participation in the dance studio. Rebecca believes that dance, in any form, should be accessible for every body regardless of a participants abilities.
